I just heard on the evening news that suicide is the likely cause. So so sad. My heart breaks for Tony Dungy and rest of his family. It is horrific enough to lose a child, but to have it happen at Christmas and from a suicide just compounds the hurt so much more.
I don't think you ever get over the death of a child. My 16 yr old nephew was killed in a bizarre auto accident a few years ago, and his death is still the biggest elephant in the room. My oldest son is only a couple of months younger than he, and they were so close, it was almost like losing my own child. As a parent, every little thing you do can still remind you of their not being here. Even going to the grocery store and seeing the special items you once bought for that child that you no longer bring home.
I don't see how Dungy or even his Colts can stay focused through the playoffs. I won't be surprised if he doesn't make it to several of the games. but we'll see. He might immerse himself in his work to try to fight the pain he feels. That only works for a very short time.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. 🙁
